A nice article about Queen Rania's personal involvement in the treatment of a young Iraqi girl.

Lt. Col. Pat Frank, the 1-28 Inf. commander, along with his personal security detachment, escorted the tandem to the National Iraqi Assistance Council through a sector of the city they were not familiar with, where Dr. Victoria Jacobs assisted with shortening a three-day process to just one afternoon.

Thanks for putting video for us hilal but i am disappointed. I thought the queen would answer herself not put an american exchange student on to 'answer' questions. This guy is PR for Jordan and talking in stereotypes himself. It does not answer any hard questions and lots of people posted good questions on YouTube - you can see if you go to the website. It does not say anything about human rights, religious freedom in Jordan or anywhere else in the Arab world - this video was a 'cop out' and I hope the future ones are better. If Arabs want to get rid of stereotypes of us then we need to put our house in order.

This is not a one-off exercise and the intended plan is that there will be a series of videos throughout the summer months. Moreover having had a quick look on the site it seems her response has gone down very well with many Youtubers.

yeah, i was also a bit dissappointed about the first response. why not commenting on any of those important questions that so many people asked or touched some of those topics she mentions at the very beginning? of course the story of the american guy is interesting, but it's just ONE point and may not be representative enough, imo. maybe a more extended response would be much more interesting to hear. i believe this idea has great potential, but the first outcome wasn't in my opinion of its best quality.
